RE: [Plug] AOL Instant Messager...what ports?

[Michelle Weber <umweber@mcs.drexel.edu>]

I believe you can run aim from any port. I distinctly remember just
putting in port 8080 when behind a company firewall at one time.
You can just click on the setup button and put in any port..
I would double check myself, but there's no way I am installing aim at
work! :)
